Those who know the President say
he is not looking so we'll as when
he returned from the Adiron-
dacks last summer. 1t seemed cruel
on New Years day to harass him
with the continuous hand shaking,
as every jolt appeared to give him
pain. How strangely weighted with
JOY and sorrow is the lot Of every
mortal Let favoring circumstances
take more than usually agreeable
turn, and the demon of fate makes
haste to throw some poison in the
cup. Here is Grover Cleveland. at

"She has lived for several years with Mrs.

clash was over the purchase Of Pearlinc. Kitty
was bound to have it. but Mrs. Dixon was
skeptical as to its merits and believed in the
virtue of ordinary soap. A battlc-royal was
fought, but Kittys threat to leave forthwith
brought her mistress grudginsly to terms, and

New and Old ViolinS.

There is a great deal of nonsense
afoat about the new principle of max
ing violins, by which new instruments
are as desirable as old. People are all
at sea about tho worth OF violin.
Why, if 800 were paid for new vio-
lin, as is often advertised. it is high
price showing less wisdom than abund-
ancc of money. Any sum above 500
is an artificial price, just as in the case
of china bric-a-brac, where fashion
makes the market The fashion is
rather violent. might add, at present.
and volins made on "a new principle
are quoted high. The value Of age is
that it mellows the tone. and tn ere is
no new principle that can accomplish
that. The ear Of the average mortal is
not sensible TO the finer qualities Of
tone. and hence new violin is as ex-
quisitc to it as the oldest Cremona.
Twenty five dollars is good price for
a new violin, but there is no quotation
on an old one. One rule is that it Is
worth what we can get. st Louis

A WOnderful Idiot.

DR.. Samuel j. Fort gave and account
of case of abnormal memory in the
person of a congenital imbccile. aged
forty-three years. now in his privite in
stitution. The memory is the only re-
markable trait in this otherwise ordi-
nary imbecile. He could compile a
complete directory of those whom he
has met during forty years of his life.
He is very apt in remembering loca-
ton and direction. Once passing over
q road suftices TO idclibly impress upon
his memory the surroundings. What
he reads is apparently forever.
Mention but the title OF book
he has read, and he will repeat
the entire contents. Mention an Incl
dent of tale. and he will give the title
aud the rest of the tale. He has no
power to classify or generalize the
things he remembers. baltimore Sun.

Those who are insisting on keeping the
school open all through the hot month Of
September should remember that most Of the
successful men of the present generation got
their education In schools which opened in
October or later and closed In April or earlier.
With all the wise things said and written on
the subject OF education, 1t would seem as IL
be educated to plane Of perfection. But in
the mania to make a perfect system of our
public schools the spirit OF education Is In
danger of being lost.
in one way and another there are hundreds
OF boys to-day, manly, independent, self-re-
liant and determined, who are forcing from
untoward circumstances the education which
they dssire. not from its money value in the
work Of after life. but because education in
and OF itself Is to them the supremest good.

Hundreds of citizens visited the Jail
here last evening and this morning to
see typical wild man of the woods"
who was caught and confined upon an
information made by his father. who
lives in Whitley Township. this county.
His name is William Rnehart. The
son is about thirty years of age and has
lived all his life in the neighborhood
where he was born. The father is q
rich farmer, possessed OF u large landed
estate, mostly grown up in woods and
brambles. lie is misery in his dispo-

He refused to work some years ago
and has since spent his time in the for

house in winter. His food was put in
a certain place for him and he got il at
his own time and pleasure. Until
lately no fear was felt that Inc would do
harm, but in the last few months when
seen he invariably had an AK, and rs
soon as discovered he would brandsh
it and cry out Blood! Blood!' and
then disappear. The old man became
alarmed and by the aid of his neighbors
had him arrested. His head is matted
two inches deep in hair and filth, and
he says he W II not have it cut His
finger nails have grown SO long that
they curve inward like the talons of II
